Personally i love with all my being the turn-based RPG games that keep the things simple and get more focused in the story or the art, Child of Light is one of them, with a fairy tales-theme and an amazing soundtrack (more intense in the bosses fight), the game feels very natural, there's no need to waste hours and hours grinding (problem in many others RPG ́S) for level or items because the difficulty of the game doesn't requires it.

The art style and graphics to this game was top notch and extremely beautiful!
+ Has a very casual gameplay
I played on Steam Deck; no special settings were required and the controls felt perfect.
While being an avid gamer/developer myself I enjoy introducing other people to new experiences in the world of games, hence I controlled the wisp while he/she controlled the protagonist in a local co-op using gamepads on a 55".
